Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order Audiobook

" Audiobook. Excellent three hours spent learning how the US-European power relationship has evolved to present. "

" A book basically comparing the size of America's dong to Europe's by a neocon crusader steeped in the blood of the Iraqi people. "

" Very concise and persuasive -- our return to 19th century great power politics "

" interesting view...hobbesian vs. kantian thing...but seems to miss the point (in my opinion) that maybe we don't have to be hegemonic... "

" Excellent extended essay on what the US does not understand about comtemporary Europe and vice versa. "

" A concise, lucid and compelling discussion of the positions of America and Europe in the international order, and the past and future of the relationship between them. "

" I've been reading Robert Kagan for years, so was not surprised by the quality of this book - he never disappoints! "

" An excellent account of the diverging political courses of Kantian Europe and the Hobbesian United States. "

" This book put the post WWII period of peace in Europe in historical perspective and made me understand that this was only possible because of the military power of the US. "

" I think this is a must read. Shows the cultural rift between America and Europe and the tools each uses for conflict resolution as a result of their histories... awesome & succint. "

" He makes some valid points, unfortunately. "

" Perhaps a bit simplistic and overstated - but his general points/arguments are mostly convincing to me. The book is a quick read and serves as a great discussion starter and a good entry point into the subject. "

" Interesting thesis, but only if you subscribe to the philosophical idea that human activity doesn't change over time, the tools improve and the names just get changed. But still worth reading to know what neoconservatives believe. "

" I reread this one recently since it points out how little changes in our worldview regardless of which party holds political power at any given time. A very worthwhile read. "

" Interesting hawkish read. Classic neo-con text. The preeminence of American power has sure worked out well for us when we tried exercising it didn't it Kagan? "

" Donald Kagan explains why America and Europe views the world so differently. "

" I learned why Americans and Europeans live in different universes "

" Thorough analysis of why Europe and the US have had some philosophical differences with respect to international relations and the power balance during the 2000s. "

" Made me understand more about the US & European perspectives and their rule within and across the globe. Politics --- Not my cup of tea though.... But worth reading. "

" In other word it's like when you read Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, how US and Eroupe speak in different languages, never understand each other yet both are need for each other. Very interesting! "

" I must be a neocon, if such a thing exists. "
